A bit surprised at the followup venom against Kornheiser, all it does is make cyclists look petty and vindictive, which is what we criticize the “other side” for being and what Lance was trying to correct with his “we’re in this together” message.

I think it came out as a win for Kornheiser and Armstrong. Kornheiser came across as willing to listen, and Armstrong came across as reasonable and level headed. No fireworks on that show at all.

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:10:17 +0000http://bikeintelligencer.com/?p=2569#comment-670I applaud Lance. As someone who just recently started commuting to work on his bike and as a father with two boys who ride bikes all over the city, I’m glad to see someone stand up for what’s right. And I’m glad others showed their support. I wouldn’t wish Mr. Kornheiser to lose his job over this… although I wouldn’t mind seeing him have to ride a bike to work through city traffic. Now that could make for good TV.

but as a human being who thinks that nobody should be permitted to encourage hate violence on air like that.

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:44:36 +0000http://bikeintelligencer.com/?p=2569#comment-666Deliberately snarky or what have you, the comments of Kornheiser and crew were in appropriate, and had they been directed at certain protected groups of the population, he would have been fired immediately for hate speech.

ESPN should ensure that Lance goes on the air, Tony falls on his sword on air, then fire the entire crew!

Failing that, there needs to be a ghost bike campaign at the ESPN corporate office, as well as the local affiliate from which the show originates until the whole crew is replaced.

Just because he apologizes to Lance does not provide forgiveness. Lance cannot resolve this. He can certainly take the first step, but he does not have the bicycling community’s proxy.
